Any suggestions where I can get a great Peking Duck here in the Bay? All my favorite places have gone out of business over the years, and the dish just doesn't seem to be too popular anymore

I only have 2 stipulations:
1.) It must come with crepes (a la Mu Shu) as God, Buddha, and Allah intended, NOT the flat buns (like a flattened steamed BBQ pork bun) that I and all true Chinese people hate so much
and
2.) If you suggest a place that serves roast duck as opposed to Peking duck, I will punch you in the nuts and ridicule you for your ignorance

Thanks in advance!

 

Try Hong Kong Flower Lounge in Milbrae.

 

i thought they always served them with the buns? i <3 those
never had them with crepes though

 

agreed.

 

Hong Kong Flower Lounge... we're talking about the one on the corner of El Camino and Millbrae Ave., right? The one with the big Buddhist altar out front and parking "underneath" the restaurant, right? They have the crepes?!

rheng: Peking duck was originally served with crepes, but starting in the early '90s, almost all of the Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area started serving them with those infernal buns. If you go to China or Hong Kong, almost nowhere serves it with those damned buns, and if they do, it's considered ghetto.

 

i had an awesome one last year. super authentic. 108 slices from one duck. but it was in Beijing.

off monument there use to be the "Pekking boy" right next door to an adult bookstore.

 

JZ oo7 and slow04wrx: neither of you are being very helpful, albeit in different ways!

Damn, 108 slices, drooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllll llllll.................

 

Ive had the peking duck at Sino restaurant; good, but way too expensive

 

Oooh, you guys all fail so far! I checked the menu at both HK Flower Lounge and Sino, and they both serve the Peking Duck with FXXXING BUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE those goddamn buns with a vengeance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please keep the suggestions coming, so long as the suggestions adhere to the 2 stipulations

 

have you had them with the sesame seed buns? Those are pretty good. The best peking duck I have had were also in Beijing. Here's some pix to stir your appetite.









I'd also like to know a good place in the Bay tho.

 

If you're in the city, try R&G Lounge on Kearny. It's one of the best places for Peking Duck (and seafood) around. They serve the Peking Duck with either buns or crepes. You have to ask for the crepes IIRC.

 

Man, you need to post on the Chowhound board. Them SF foodies should know.
